The Greater Middletown Concert Association is bringing them here as part of its 2016-17 season. Tickets are now on sale.

The Swing Legacy provides the authentic style, elegance and excitement of a big band. Through original arrangements of traditional big band music, the group produces a “big band sound” that makes the group’s sound larger than its size.

The Swing Legacy’s music is both great dance music and interesting concert jazz, and it functions professionally as a concert jazz ensemble and a dance band.

Its members are known for their impeccable musicianship and powerful swinging beat.

A Boston-based group, organized in 1991 by the notable Henry Francis, The Swing Legacy plays throughout New England and beyond. The band’s CDs have received many complimentary reviews, and some songs have been used in national TV spots and network TV shows.

“We are purposely bringing this performance to Middletown in recognition of Middletown’s talented musicians of the past and their contribution to America’s swing era,” said Barbara Arafeh, president of the Greater Middletown Concert Association.

Tickets are now on sale at $35 (front) and $30 (rear). Student tickets are half-price.

Tickets may be purchased by calling 860 343-7555. All major credit cards are accepted.

Also, tickets are available for sale at the Middlesex Music Academy store, 440 Main St., Middletown. Visit our website at www.GreaterMiddletownConcerts.org or on Facebook.
